AMERIPEN, the leading policy and advocacy organization representing the entire packaging value chain, appointed Lynn Dyer as its new Executive Director, following a comprehensive national search. Dyer assumes the role ePective immediately.

Dyer said, 

“I’m honored to join AMERIPEN and continue advancing science-based, actionable packaging policy. This association plays a critical role in shaping fair, ePective legislation, and I look forward to further collaborating with our members to strengthen our collective voice.”

Dyer brings decades of experience in public policy, sustainability, and industry collaboration. Her proven ability to navigate complex regulatory environments and unite diverse stakeholders positions her to lead AMERIPEN through one of the most consequential periods for packaging policy in U.S. history.

Most recently, Dyer served as Chief Sustainability OPicer at Pactiv Evergreen (now Novolex), where she led the company’s sustainability initiatives. 

Her work has long reflected a commitment to environmental stewardship and pragmatic advocacy that balances innovation with responsibility.

Having held multiple volunteer leadership roles within the association over the years, Dyer brings with her a strong understanding of the organization’s mission, values, and membership. 

Dyer will be formally introduced to AMERIPEN members at the Annual Summit on June 10– 12 in Alexandria, VA.
